North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum has emerged as a leading vice presidential candidate for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential run.
Coming seemingly out of nowhere, Burgum is now being aggressively astroturfed as the new sensation of the conservative media establishment, particularly by globalist-run Fox News. Burgum is saying all the right things as he sees a potential vice presidential nomination in his future.
However, before Burgum became the darling of the conservative media gatekeepers, he was a typical globalist politician with deep ties to China and Bill Gates who vetoed bills to protect children from transgenderism and trashed Trump on the campaign trail.
In 2021, Burgum was a vocal advocate of selling 300 acres of premium North Dakota farmland to a Chinese food manufacturing company. The location would have been only 20 minutes from the Grand Forks Air Force Base where sophisticated military drones are regularly tested.
When it was announced that the Chinese Fufeng Group would dump $700 million into its colonization project within North Dakota, Burgum saw the dollar signs and endorsed the deal wholeheartedly.
“Adding value to our corn and other raw commodities is critical to North Dakota’s long-term economic success, and this value-added project represents a huge opportunity for producers and workers in the Grand Forks area and our entire state,” Gov. Doug Burgum said in a statement.
The deal only fell through after significant public backlash and opposition from the Air Force exposed how dangerous it was.
Burgum made his millions by seizing control of Great Plains Software, a firm that provided accounting software to small and medium-sized businesses. He sold out to Microsoft for $1.1 billion in 2001, becoming life-time friends with Bill Gates in the process.
Gates kept Burgum around at Microsoft as the manager of Microsoft Business Solutions following the acquisition. When Burgum retired from being a corporate raider and joined the political world, he kept his ties with Gates intact and made it clear that Gates was highly influential in shaping his gubernatorial agenda.
In 2017, Gates visited North Dakota where he met with Gov. Burgum. Burgum bragged on social media about the visit where he gushed about Gates’ work in promoting globalism.
“Tremendously grateful to welcome Bill Gates to North Dakota this past weekend for a wide-ranging conversation on the important issues facing citizens in our state, and around the world. Harnessing technology is key to driving innovation in all areas of government, from healthcare and addiction, to justice reform, education and infrastructure. Bill’s leadership and commitment to improving the world around him is an inspiration for finding creative solutions to 21st century challenges,” Burgum said in a Facebook post.
Gates donated $100,000 to Burgum’s gubernatorial campaign in 2016. Perhaps as a result of his campaign contributions to Burgum, Gates was able to flout state laws meant to protect small farmers and swallow up 2,100 acres of prime farm land through his ‘Red River Trust’ shell organization.
In 2021, Burgum vetoed legislation that would have banned transgender athletes from competing in sporting events outside of their birth gender.
“North Dakota has fairness in girls’ and boys’ sports in large part because of the caring and thoughtful leadership of the North Dakota High School Activities Association (NDHSAA) Board and its members,” Burgum said at the time to justify his cowardice. “We have every confidence they will continue to ensure a level playing field for the more than 27,000 students who participate in North Dakota high school sports.”
Burgum doubled down on his support of transgenderism in 2023 when he vetoed legislation that would have banned the use of transgender pronouns by public school officials.
Burgum also invited Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to his state where they spread propaganda in a bipartisan manner about global warming. Burgum even stated that his plan to make North Dakota “carbon neutral” by 2030, a plan that would destroy the oil industry that sustains North Dakota’s prosperity.
